young sheldon will say goodbye on May 16 with the end of the seventh season. Nothing remains. To whet your appetite, the official account of the series has uploaded an original promotional video: an unforeseen collaboration between Iain Armitage, who plays Sheldon Cooper as a young man, and Jim Parsons, who gave life to the physicist in The big bang theory.
“It seems like there’s a new filter that shows you what you’ll be like when you’re older,” says Armitage, 15, looking at the camera on his phone before covering it. “I don’t know how accurate it will be but let me try it,” he warns. And what happens when she uncovers? That appears, of course, Parsons, 51 years old.
“Mhm… I’m not sure about this,” says the winner of four Emmy Awards for best television comedy actor when he sees himself on screen. “Oh, it also changes your voice,” he comments skeptically before blurting out that he doesn’t like the app.
With these images, which were taken on the set of filming young sheldon (there are the sets in the background as confirmation), we finally have the first images of the outcome of the prequel of The big bang theory after announcing that both Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik, his wife in fiction as Amy Farrah Fowler, will be in the episode.

Of course, the adult Sheldon Cooper already explained in an interview what it had been like to return in front of the cameras to play the character that he physically fired in 2019 in The big bang theory although he has been participating since then only on a vocal level as a narrator of young sheldon.
“The big bang theory It was always a series with a live audience and young sheldon “It was a single-camera series,” he explained of the change in format that meant that, when he was in the prequel, there was no audience to react to his jokes. This seemed strange to him and, luckily, coinciding with Bialik allowed him to feel more comfortable.
“It was the icing on the cake of the whole experience and I was very grateful that they asked us to do it,” he said about his participation in saying goodbye to his character. Now it remains to be seen if Armitage will reprise his role in the spin-off of young sheldon focused on the characters of Georgie and Mandy, the roles played by Montana Jordan and Emily Osment.
